Re: 'As Long as You're Having Fun, We Don't Care': Ghost of Yotei Dev Comments on Open World Freedom

On one hand, I like the way they do the open world stuff, with foxes or birds or fireflies organically leading you to points of interest as you explore.

On the other hand, I think the side quest design in Yotei is pretty terrible. They’re all a bunch of samey copy/paste “Go here & deal w the ambush that breaks out as soon as you arrive” quests w no variety.

It’s particularly glaring bc Tsushima had the best side quests I’ve ever seen, the way they were integrated into like allied NPC chains that progressed upon each other. The side quests in GoT felt like extensions of the main story, but Yotei is a step back.

I’m not 100% sure what to think of this, but am patient to give the devs time to cook something new up. E33 was lightning in a freaking bottle. It will be hard to follow it up, but maybe they pull it off again. Would prob take a fair amount of time either way. A game as amazing as E33 (in all regards) doesn’t just plop itself out.

Re: 'We'll Continue to Evolve the PS Store': Sony on Making PS5, PS4 Shopping Better

Is it just me or is the "rating" feature either completely missing or hidden somewhere on the mobile app storefront?

Let me give an example, there was a cheap knockoff Schedule I game that launched on PS5 last month with a 1.4/5 rating, which is prominently displayed on the game's webpage and probably enough to dissuade potential buyers from falling for the trap. But where is this on the mobile app? Hell, how do I even rate any of the games that I play on PS5? I'm not aware of how to do this easily on the app nor the PS5 console menu...

“The structure can be frustrating because if you stray from your mission markers, you’ll often be told to return to the objective otherwise you’ll instantly fail.”

Oh god, I just played SW Outlaws and it was terrible about this! You’d get an objective to return to the planet and then the game would instantly fail you when you flew into the planet to land. So frustrating!
